Questions

What BPM is good 4 u?

169 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. At that speed the sixteenth notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is good 4 u hard to play on drums?

56 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 38 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

122 bars, about 2:52 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 29 exercises over 9 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, kick and hi-hat foot. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in good 4 u?

4 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 21, 29, 56, 57, 65, 113 and 1 more.
